Heard the BT commentators have pop at us for spending money on a new Pitch rather than invest it in the squad. The mentioned that pitch looked in good shape and today it certainly did. However considering the mud pit it becomes in the winter this is incredibly important. . I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing

The shitehawks in the media flip-flop and take the opposite opinion on us one week to the next because it allows them to sell shite to shite addicts.

The surface is fine. The fact it's sitting on top of a layer of earth that turns into brown custard when it rains because the sub-base has turned into concrete and the drains don't work anymore is the problem. So the whole lot needs replaced. Everybody who isn't a brain-dead moron knows this.

Tbf I don’t think it’s that bad that the commentators didn’t know this

My laddie had the opportunity to train on the pitch at Murrayfield last Thursday evening. As is well documented it is a hybrid pitch. I got speaking to their head groundsman. This is what he said. The Murrayfield pitch is 97% grass and only 3% synthetic which is the thread that knits the roots of the grass together 8 inches below the surface. This is done by a machine which for Murrayfield could do the length of the pitch to a width of 3 metres in approximately 10 hours. So if it was just a case of laying a hybrid pitch, Tynecastle would be done and dusted in a fortnight. It's the re-doing of the undersoil heating and the Base below the hybrid pitch that is the time consuming bit. I have to say the Murrayfield head groundsman thought it would be touch and go to be ready for mid July. Once again I think we will be at the mercy of the Scottish summer weather. Here is hoping it's a good summer.

Think the groundsman was telling BT Sport that its under the grass that a lot of work needs done thats why its ripped up already

We will get no positive pr on this at all, wonder what the first weegia negative spin will be:

1. Cost V’s player budget or...

2. It won’t be ready in time.

I guarantee you next season visiting teams who get horsed by us will start to complain about the pitch feeling “not quite right”.

I remember when it was announced that the new stand was behind schedule, Currie and his fellow mutants were filming for the evenings news and, the camera was locked firmly on the last wee unfinished bit of the stand down by the roseburn. The story line lasted about a minute and had workmen in the background busying away.......at no point did the camera pan left to see the 99% that was completed...................that lot boil my piss
